I see, very well then. I salute you sir. Perhaps I was mistaken in the meaning of the fallacy after all.

Thank you for not calling me an idiot again.

We are all born Atheists, everyone of us. We are born without the Shackles of theism arresting our minds. It is not until we are poisoned by the fears and delusions of others that we become trapped in the psychopathic dream world of theism.

Far be it from me to let you save face, there is no 'perhaps' in the matter.

You weren't just mistaken in the meaning of the fallacy in question, you were mistaken in what fallacies mean in general, and you failed to understand even what the fundamental concept in logic - validity - means.

When you understand the extreme magnitude of how profoundly and fundamentally wrong you were about everything you said, and note your insistence on your rightness despite that ignorance, you will understand why I called you an idiot.

I was actually addressing PrincessPeach, and explaining it to her, because she asked nicely.

I called you an idiot not merely because you were ignorant -- ignorance is no crime. An idiot expresses a special combination of ignorance AND arrogance which is intolerable, making them all but immune to correction.

Stay humble, and you won't be called an idiot again, even if you're mistaken about something.

Do you now understand why my calling you an Idiot was not an ad hominem fallacy?

If you read my original post again, you will find that I had already explained what the "fallacy fallacy" was, and why you were mistaken.
The discussion was already over before it had begun.

It was at the prompting of your insistence that I called you an idiot, which had nothing to do with my discrediting your argument (which you did a good enough job of yourself by not understanding fundamental concepts in logic).

Hopefully now that you know how you were being an idiot, you can avoid being an idiot in the future.

Is there such a fallacy as association fallacy?
It would basically state that just because something has been a part of A, which is now looked down upon, B must be just as evil as A for advocating for it. For example, the Neo-Nazi party has a notable favorability towards veganism among their ranks, therefore modern vegans are racist white supremacists.

Yes, it is called the "Guilt by association" fallacy. Here's a link to a site that explains it.
